The National Weather Service's PDS red flag warning highlights exceptional fire risks in Los Angeles and Ventura counties, with gusts threatening exponential fire growth.
Los Angeles City Fire Department chief Kristin Crowley described the current fires as one of the most challenging natural events in the city's history, emphasizing that the danger persists.
As winds gusting up to 100 mph spread flames across 29,000 acres, the NWS warns that upcoming Santa Ana winds pose additional threats, albeit weaker than last week's.
Red flag warnings signal conditions conducive to wildfires, with fanned flames potentially igniting new fires or spreading existing ones rapidly.
